Is there an easy (custom) way to GET a url on Android?
Kind of an XY problem, so I'm hoping that I'm just missing something stupid simple.
I found this tool (which is super cool) rss-librarian and I'm looking to make it stupid simple to send things I find on my phone to the url associated with my "account". I already have a bookmarklet set up in firefox on my laptop.
First thought was that I could use the "share" ability to simply share a cool link with a URL, but that seems to require some dev work. Second thought was to use Tasker to script something out, but that's looking to be a medium level of complicated. So, hopefully, there is something simple that I'm missing or don't know about that I could do to use this functionality from my phone.
Any suggestions? If not, I'll have to learn tasker :(
Couldn't you use the same bookmarklet on your phone? Seems like they work normally on the android version of firefox. I don't really use chrome, but apparently they work there too
After attempting to use the bookmark, it seems to just redirect me to the page linked in the bookmarklet, not adding it to my list in rss-librarian.
Not too big of an issue though, as I did hack together a small tasker thing that does exactly what I need for the moment and works perfectly... Surprisingly.
EDIT: Using the bookmarklet requires more interaction than just using the share functionality from android which is why I was leaning that way first. If you can get a bookmarklet to work, it sounds like a good workaround if you don't want to use tasker.
maybe you need to login first?
Welllll, the reason I have account in double quotes is because rss-librarian doesn't really have a "log in" for accounts. You just have a 64 character hash assigned to you when you first start. It's technically public, but hard to guess, so it can be used "as an account". And that's fine for my purposes too. Anyway, the bookmarklet works on firefox desktop, so I'm honestly probably doing something wrong on mobile.
I mean... it might be a quoting issue within the URL when copying it over. If a bookmarklet works on Desktop, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work on mobile--does it require an extension to be installed in the browser?
Firefox for Android can send links between my logged in devices and I frequently use it in combination with my site to send 50 or 100 URLs to my PC in a few clicks

Or send the links to yourself via Email?
Recently, it's also been useful for me to SSH in to my computer from my phone or vice verse and update the remote clipboard by doing
cat | xsel --clipboard --inputorcat | termux-clipboard-set, pasting in stuff, press Ctrl-D and then it's on the remote clipboard
